Stéphane Boujnah, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Managing Board of Euronext, said:

“The first quarter of 2018 marked a strong start to the year, with very high revenue capture from trading activities in a volatile environment and good performance from our market data and indices businesses. As a result of strong cost discipline and operational leverage, this growth in revenue has directly benefited our EBITDA margin, reaching 60.1% at Group level, despite the impact of newly acquired businesses, and 63.5% EBITDA margin for core business and Agility for Growth business, excluding clearing. The current months are marked by sequentially lower volumes as volatility levels are now waning after the peak observed at the beginning of the year, while the IPO pipeline is building up.

In March, Euronext reached a major milestone with the closing of the acquisition of the Irish Stock Exchange, now Euronext Dublin. The new combined Group has expanded its ambitions, with the creation of a Group centre of excellence for Debt & Fund listings and ETFs.

To refinance its 2017 acquisitions and diversify its financing mix, Euronext successfully launched early April an inaugural 7-year, €500 million bond, listed on Euronext Dublin. The oversubscription of the order book along with Euronext’s first A, stable outlook, S&P rating, shows the confidence of investors and external parties in its profile and strategy.

The second quarter has already seen the successful migration of bond regulated markets to the new Optiq matching engine and order entry gateway, paving the way for the full migration of cash markets in June.”

Euronext Q1 2018 financial performance

The first quarter of 2018 saw a favourable trading environment, with the return of volatility in Euronext’s markets, and a supportive macro environment. This translated into strong trading volumes on both cash, derivatives and spot FX markets, with derivatives volumes also benefitting from The Order Machine (TOM) ceasing activities in the Netherlands in June 2017.

As a consequence, Euronext consolidated revenue increased by +15.9% in Q1 2018, to €146.7 million, mainly driven by volume growth, the positive impact of Agility for Growth initiatives (€4.2 million), and the acquisition of FastMatch in August 2017, which diversified Euronext’s top line with spot FX trading revenue (€5.2 million). Non-volume related revenue amounted to 42% of total Group revenue in Q1 2018. The operating cost coverage ratio¹ reached 104% in Q1 2018.

Operational expenses excluding Depreciation & Amortisation increased by +4.3% to €58.5 million due to the deployment of Agility for Growth initiatives, incorporation of businesses acquired in 2017, and Euronext Dublin acquisition costs, offsetting the decrease in core business expenses, primarily in staff expenses, systems & communication and professional services.

At the end of Q1 2018, €16.2 million of cumulated cost savings had been achieved since 1 April 2016, up compared to the end of 2017 (€10.9 million).

During Q1 2018, Agility for Growth initiatives generated €4.2 million of revenue and €3.7 million of costs, driven by Corporate Services dynamism and the first revenues from Post Trade APA/ARM.

EBITDA growth for the quarter was strong at +25.1%, to €88.2 million, representing a margin of 60.1%, up 4.4 points compared to Q1 2017 due to the aforementioned items.

EBITDA margin of core business and Agility for Growth, excluding clearing, reached 63.5% in Q1 2018, up 6.8 points compared to Q1 2017.

Excluding the impact of the consolidation of FastMatch and the cost of acquisition of Euronext Dublin for €2 million (“New perimeter”, see below), Euronext consolidated revenue would have amounted to €141.5 million in Q1 2018, up +11.7%, with an EBITDA margin of 62.1%, up 6.4 points compared to Q1 2017 (see below).

_______________
¹Non-volume related businesses revenue divided by operating costs (excluding D&A)

The table below sums up the various indicators used above (full table in appendix):

Depreciation and Amortisation increased by +37.9% in Q1 2018, to €5.2 million, impacted by new acquisitions, with PPA⁶ for €1.5 million in Q1 2018.

Operating profit before exceptional items was €82.9 million, a +24.3% increase compared to Q1 2017.

€1.0 million of exceptional costs were booked in Q1 2018 compared to €3.1 million in Q1 2017 related to the potential acquisition of LCH SA.

Net financing expenses for Q1 2018 were €0.4 million compared to €1.1 million in Q1 2017, that was marked by one-off items related to the previous term loan and the potential acquisition of LCH SA

Results from equity investment amounted to €1.5 million in Q1 2018, resulting from the consolidation as an associate of LCH SA of which Euronext owns a 11.1% stake since 29 December 2017. In Q1 2017, €0.7 million in dividends were received from LCH Group.

Income tax for Q1 2018 was €25.2 million, representing an effective tax rate for the quarter of 30.4% (Q1 2017: €19.3 million and 30.5%).

Share of non-controlling interests mainly relating to FastMatch (90% owned), iBabs (60% owned), InsiderLog (80% owned) and Company Webcast (51% owned) amounted to €0.4 million in Q1 2018.

As a result, the net profit share of the Group for Q1 2018 increased by +30.6%, to €57.3 million. This represents a reported EPS of €0.82 basic and €0.82 fully diluted in Q1 2018, compared to €0.63 basic and €0.63 fully diluted in Q1 2017. The number of shares used for the basic calculation was 69,599,329 and for the fully diluted calculation was 69,929,019.

Adjusted⁷ EPS is up +28.1% in Q1 2018, at €0.85, compared to €0.66 in Q1 2017.

As of 31 March 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of €288.3 million, and €338 million of financial debt. Euronext gross debt / LTM EBITDA ratio amounted to 1.07 at the end of March 2018. In Q1 2018 Euronext generated a net cash flow from operating activities of €75 million, compared to €57 million in Q1 2017.

Q1 2018 business highlights

• Listing

Listing revenue was €18.0 million in Q1 2018, a decrease of -4.3% compared to Q1 2017. This weak performance was driven by a decrease in IPOs in addition to a decline in follow-on activity, partially offset by the positive impact of the Corporate Services initiative, part of the “Agility for Growth” strategic plan. Annual fees increased by 6.1% to €8.3 million.

Primary market activity was impacted by unfavorable market conditions, as the uptick in volatility reduced appetite for new listings. However, Q1 2018 saw the listing of large capitalisations on Euronext’s market in Amsterdam with B&S and NBIC. During the first quarter of 2018, 6 new listings, including 4 SME deals, were completed, compared to 6 listings in the first quarter of 2017. This translated into €3.4bn raised in Q1 2018, a decrease from €3.7bn last year.

The European Tech SME initiative continued to gain traction, with 2 new listings in Q1 2018 on Euronext Brussels and Euronext Paris, respectively from a UK-based life science company and an Italian company.

The market environment contributed to the decline in secondary market activity, with follow-on activity recording €9.1bn of secondary equity issues, compared to €11.6bn in Q1 2017, which was marked by a record activity.

Bond market declined, despite record issuance by a French corporate and positive trend on the green bond market

In total, €99.7bn in equity and debt were raised on Euronext’s markets in Q1 2018, compared to €95.9bn in Q1 2017.

Corporate Services, an Agility for Growth initiative, continued to consolidate its offering in Q1 2018 with the acquisition of InsiderLog. It generated €3.7 million in revenue, mainly due to the good performance of 2017 acquisitions iBabs and Company Webcast, the integration of InsiderLog, and the commercial effort deployed this year.

• Trading

Cash trading

Average daily volume for cash trading increased by +21.9% to €8.5 billion compared to Q1 2017, benefiting from a very favourable trading environment, with an uptick in volatility and a supportive macroeconomic background. In this environment of rising volume, cash trading revenue increased by +19.4% in Q1 2018, to a total of €55.7 million. Yield remained robust over the quarter averaging 0.52bps, up 0.1bps compared to Q1 2017.

Euronext maintained its strong cash trading market share throughout the quarter, averaging 65.3% in Q1 2018. This increase of +3.9 points compared to Q1 2017 reflects the continued optimization of the SLP programme and of non-member proprietary fee scheme Omega attracting volumes to Euronext markets. In addition, Euronext secured its market share from retail flows, as all Euronext retail brokers are now housed within the Best of Book service.

The average daily transaction value of ETFs on the electronic order book¹ was €335 million over Q1 2018 and was up (+31.7%) compared to Q1 2017. The total number of ETFs listed on Euronext was 796 at end of March 2018.

Commodity products recorded declining average daily volumes in 2017, down -5.4% to 49,787 contracts, impacted by poor conditions in the physical market.

Yield on derivatives averaged 0.28bps in Q1 2018, a decrease from 0.30bps in Q1 2017, related to the mix of products.

Settlement & Custody

Revenue from Interbolsa in Portugal increased by +9.3%, to €5.4 million in Q1 2018, driven by an increase of public debt and equities under custody compared to Q1 2017.

Other post-trade revenue of €0.1 million was recorded in Q1 2018, the first revenues generated by the APA/ARM initiative, part of the Agility for Growth strategic plan.

• Market solutions & other

Revenue from Market Solutions increased by +5.2% in Q1 2018, to €8.9 million. The business continued to benefit from client project work with the increase in revenue supported by the addition of new capabilities to the hosted markets service and delivery of the first commercial releases of Optiq® to international clients.
